[QUOTE="OMG_Bill, post: 831268, member: 23910"]When I was just starting out, I bought several things on eBay. I got an expensive education and quick. I've bought some very nice notes. As with all the tips already posted, be careful. It takes two to make an auction. I read feedback on everyone that has something I'm interested in. When I decide to bid I've had to bid with my brain and not my emotions. I like the Educational notes but own not a one. When I decide to make a bid, I generally decide what I think the item is worth and bid one time and walk away. After awhile you'll begin to know what dealers are worth watching. I save them in my favorites. I've seen the same pile of wheat pennies on eBay for years. Some of these dealers can be found at coin shows and it's nice to meet them in person. It's enlightening in some cases. Have fun and pace yourself, you've got time. Good luck! Oh, what Captainkirk said about winning 30% to 40% is pretty spot on. *smile*[/QUOTE]
